Jigs* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I emailed them today, no luck on the frame. But they won’t sell the jugs either. ISF racing is doing some good stuff with third components Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Banshee wont be ready by then. wifes raptor will be though

ISF is currently making the spindles/parts. They are not cheap. If we can't get a new frame. Get me a straight one and I will take to the old shop and make a jig for it. It will cost me a few grand to make the jig/ pay for shop time. But then new ones can be made.

I am aware that it needs sleeves xD, I do not who made the monoblock originally

I believe they will still make you a frame. its just expensive.

Not 100% sure on what early cylinders these are but the need sleeves regardless. Also need the stuff to complete the power valves. or block them off if the port allows. I can email pictures. appear to be freshly bored for new sleeves. Will be a 4mm stroker. Building my cousin a banshee for christmas. Cant upload pictures because of the file size limit. even became a premium member arrgh

Hmm, I wonder since you make both the cover and the pump. If a little bit larger pump could be a thing? Specifically for the bigger motors on gas.

Going to be buying a cover in a few weeks for my new 10 Mil. the drama llama can be so lame sometimes.

You still have them? sorry to necro the thread

Those guys are mega busy right now. Most of the big names are almost a year out on motors. I would imagine paint is similar.

What kind of fatty pipes are those?

Call HS customs and talk to Cam. His work is awesome.

Can confirm that the guy at Farm and Sand Toys is great. total pain in the ass to get ahold of on the phone. but always responds to emails. I would imagine he is extremely busy.

I will be going a few times this coming season. would be nice to not be alone/worrying about my stuff.

Did You ever sell?

freaking sweet. I need to get me one of them stator covers.

I think with current frame prices if I can hit sub 1500 for a new frame they will sell.

Hand building frames is easy if you build good jigs. I learned that from building circle track cars. You do big runs of small parts and bend bars. Some of the stuff needs to be pre-notched some does not. Its mainly pre-notching from one end to get the measurement to the start of the bend. Providing you can read a measuring tape on your benders shaft travel, its pretty easy to be consistent. The top left and right frame rails I will just get pre-bent once I have achieved the correct shape on the bender. CNC mandrel bending cost per bar isint that bad when you get 100 or more done at once. Its a 2 jig operation. First jig does the main frame, second jog does all the smaller mounting points (Think welds that will not distort the frame). The first 3 frames are R&D frames to figure out where the failure points are. Keep 1 in house and send the other 2, to youtubers for the free advertisement.

Ok, so I have a stupid idea/passion project. I am about 3 years out from the first bike right now. I am going to bring back the Banshee. As it stands right now the initial price point will be 12-14k. I know its a lot but I really wont know about demand and scaling until the shop is done and the first 50 bikes or so are built/sold. The plan at the moment is for the frame to be DOM steel all new. 3 minor changes relating to modern manufacturing techniques. I know people will scream for better geometry but there are a few problems with doing that. 1. huge aftermarket support for the current frame design. 2. It will no longer be remanufacturing and that makes it subject to modern emissions. 3. to many different frame options makes it cost more. I am shooting for using a lot of OEM Yamaha parts. (Still waiting on engine quotes). The white paper is for engines, steering stem, plastics, seat, and ignition(may go more modern depends on cost). Most likely single carb for less cost/tuning into a factory looking airbox (intake obviously different). If factory electronics are not possible, then there will be a "Roll over" protection incorporated into the dash(ignition shut off). Long term, I would like to see the ignition changed to drive fuel/ port oil injection. This will end up being a cylinder/ignition swap with no changes to the bottom end. As current law is written, I can remanufacture and be under the emissions rules of the year of the vehicle model. If I am able to improve emissions that will just prevent problems. Initially I want to use a non vented carb, just to show that I am moving in the direction that they like (evap regulations). Initially I will be building all the frames myself, hand cutting/fitting everything. I will be moving into laser cut/cnc bent tubing/brackets as demand goes up. This is a huge undertaking so please be patient with me. Initial updates will be slow going and I won't be able to announce stuff right away because of funding/investors. As I have things 100% set in stone I will announce. The one thing that I do not have a line on yet is a exhaust manufacture. Tooling for stampings is silly expensive and by their very nature they need to be shitty pipes that everyone is going to take off anyway. Have to deal with the space constraints of plastics and heat on the leg is an issue. The fact that most of these bikes will not stay at 357cc is not lost on me. If I do go with a better pipe for something like a 4mil stroker and just accept that it will suck on a 347. Do we hydroform the pipe becuase its going to suck anyway? Or do we take the risk and make a pipe that the customer can grow in to. I am the most conflicted on the exhaust issue not really looking for opinions just ranting a bit.

How to order a XL and small?

Why would you do this?
